Little Green Monsters

Hey guys, sorry I've been MIA for the last few days. Moving across the country doesn't afford a whole lot of time for action movies.

So I was (am) one of those people who watched (watches) one movie over and over until I knew (know) all of the lines. In fact, my life has been punctuated with these periods, so much so that I can relate different eras of my development to different movies that I watched on repeat. Middle school was The Craft (don't judge). Early high school was Pulp Fiction and later high school The Matrix. Freshman year of college was The Big Lebowski. First year of graduate school was Dune. And so on.

One of those movies was Gremlins. And, in fact, it was the lesser of the Gremlins movies, Gremlins 2: The New Batch. So you can imagine the nostalgia I felt when I ran across this little number

I would say that this is nothing short of genius. Truly inspiring and an homage to my early teens. Thank you, whoever you are.
